<p>Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I'm going to let you in on a little secret. One of the easiest ways to get me to laugh is to use the Stephen Hawking computer voice inappropriately. I don't know why but it gets me every time. Luckily for me, it seems the guys behind Zoolander II (or 2oolander) are on my wavelength.<br>
I saw the below trailer before the press screening of Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation and it reminded me of seeing some of the more inventive comedy trailers of the '90s. Remember the Austin Powers sequel trailer that tried to trick everybody into thinking they were watching the Star Wars trailer? I wish we'd get more inventive teases like that.<br>
Well, at least we got this one. Check it out below:<br>

Last week Frank Semyon instructed Ray Velcoro not to fucking shoot him and a bewigged Ani Bezzerides finally got to stab a guy to death.<br>
HBO says of tonight’s “Black Maps and Motel Rooms”:<br>
“Ray (Colin Farrell), Ani (Rachel McAdams) and Paul (Taylor Kitsch) take precautionary measures to elude detection and untangle a dark mystery. Frank (Vince Vaughn) deals with the fallout of his betrayal.”<br>
Screenplay is credited to series mastermind Nic Pizzolatto.<br>
It's directed by the insanely prolific Daniel Attias (“Northern Exposure,” “Lois & Clark,” “Picket Fences,” “Ally McBeal,” “The Practice,” “Boston Legal,” “Buffy The Vampire Slayer,” “The Sopranos,” “The O.C.,” “Alias,” “Six Feet Under,” “Deadwood,” “Studio 60,” “Damages,” “Friday Night Lights,” “Hung,” “Lost,” “Big Love,” “Entourage,” “The Killing,” “Homeland,” “Manhattan,” “The Americans,” “The Walking Dead,” “The Wire”).<br>

<p>I know it says “series finale” on the “Humans” promo below, but that’s just limey-speak for “season finale.” AMC just ordered a second season of its terrific new robot hourlong.<br>
<br>
Spoilers for this week’s “Big Brother” lurk in invisotext.<br>
Retail worker James earned Head of Household status, then nominated an entire showmance, putting both grad student Clay and interior designer Shelli on the block.<br>
James won the Power of Veto, so it’s likely he’ll break up the power couple by leaving both of his nominees on the block. <br>
Premiering or returning tonight: Bachelor In Paradise (8pm ABC) Broken Skull Challenge (8pm CMT) Close Up (11am Sundance) Ice Road Truckers (9pm History) On The Record (8pm Ovation)<br>
Never mind “Humans” and “The Strain” and “True Detective.” ABC’s now-on-hiatus “Celebrity Family Feud” is the only series that’s been beating “Big Brother” consistently this summer. Will ABC’s “Bachelor in Paradise” manage the same feat starting tonight?<br>

<p>Hello ladies and gentlemen, your pal Muldoon here with this week's selection of film films created by our fellow AICN readers. Hopefully you're having a kickass weekend, full of movies, hookers, and dog walks in the park; I'm just glad you've chosen to check out this weekly film fest of ours here in the heart of Ain't It Cool. The news of Rowdy Roddy Piper's passing smacked me just as hard anyone here and it reminded me just how it's easy to take people (and things) for granted until they're gone. HELL COMES TO FROGTOWN was absolutely filled to the brim with "What the hell am I watching?!?!" It was Mr. Piper's portrayal of Sam Hell that... well didn't "ground the film," because that's pretty impossible... He just added an extra level of pure badass to the movie and brought a level of enjoyment to something that could have fallen flat on its face. While I've never really followed wrestling, he seemed lovable and charming in his films and someone we needed to see more of. Now we just won't get that chance. So while I clearly hope you enjoy the shorts below, I'd also suggest you stay in tonight or tomorrow and possibly revisit one of Mr. Piper's films, or even better - check out one that you haven't seen.<br>
Go grab yourself some popcorn, lock your kids in a closet, kill the lights, relax and check out this little weekly film fest we've got ourselves here:<br>

<p>I am – Hercules!!<br>
No one knows who he’s playing, but Ian McShane is returning to HBO to star in next year’s sixth season of “Game of Thrones.”<br>
The mystery of McShane’s character is especially acute because this year’s fifth season used up pretty much all of George RR Martin’s five published A Song of Ice and Fire novels, and even some of Martin’s unpublished sixth novel in the series, “The Winds of Winter.”<br>
McShane, who turns 73 next month, appeared opposite “Justified” star Timothy Olyphant in HBO’s “Deadwood” between 2004 and 2006, and subsequently starred in NBC’s 2009 drama “Kings” and Starz’ 2010 “The Pillars of the Earth.” This year McShane has a recurring role on Showtime’s “Ray Donovan.”<br>
His big-screen roles subsequent to “Deadwood” include turns in “We Are Marshall,” “Hot Rod,” “Death Race,” “44 Inch Chest,” “Snow White and the Huntsman,” “Jack The Giant Slayer,” the Dwayne Johnson “Hercules,” and “John Wick.”<br>
This is not the first time HBO has lured one of its former British stars into "Thrones." Dominic West, who starred in HBO's "The Wire" for five seasons, was pursued to play Mance Rayder, a role that eventually went to HBO's "Rome" star Ciaran Hinds.<br>
HBO programming chief Michael Lombardo indicated earlier this week that “Thrones” showrunners intend to make the series’ eighth season its last.<br>

<p>Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here. I'm not quite sure how Tom Cruise has managed to pull it off with this franchise (the first entry of which marked his first time credited as producer), but it feels like each new MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE movie is better than the last—not by leaps and bounds, mind you, but the course correction is just enough that this fifth film, ROGUE NATION, finally feels damn near perfect. Nearly every aspect of the film feels stronger as both a pure action exercise and a intricate spy thriller with psychological tension to spare. A great deal of the credit has to fall to writer-director Christopher McQuarrie, who previously directed THE WAY OF THE GUN, but more importantly has written scripts for Cruise, including fantastic ones for JACK REACHER and EDGE OF TOMORROW. The film feels both familiar and new, thanks to a handful of returning faces (Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, and recent Impossible Mission Force addition William Brandt, played by Jeremy Renner), and first-timer Sean Harris as a whispery, truly menacing villain Lane, who heads up a secret counter-IMF agency known as the Syndicate made up of rogue (believed dead) spies from all over the world. Lane is particularly menacing o Cruise's Ethan Hunt because he seems to have the uncanny ability to predict every move and counter-move the IMF agents will make, and he plans accordingly, sometimes getting them to do his bidding without them realizing it. Lane's greatest potential weapon is a</p>

<p>Hey, folks. Capone in Chicago here, with a few films that are making their way into art houses or coming out in limited release around America this week (maybe even taking up one whole screen at a multiplex near you). Do your part to support these films, or at least the good ones… THE STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT If you took a psychology class in college, you have probably heard of the almost unfathomable experiments conducted by a small team led by Dr. Philip Zimbardo at Stanford University in 1971. By scientific terms, the experiments were a failure from the onset; there was no control group, for starters. It was meant as an examination into behavior with regards to societal labels—in this case Prisoner and Correctional Officer. Twenty-four students were selected over a break in classes, and they were made either prisoners or guards in a makeshift prison (actually a series of empty offices). There were rules in place about physical contact, but other than that, the guards were encouraged to see how far they could push the prisoners in terms of demoralizing behavior. The students playing guards weren't given specific behaviors to act out, but within a day they started to show signs of exerting their cruel power over the inmates, and most of the inmates completely submitted to the sadistic behavior. Lest you assume this is documentary, it's not. What it becomes is a harrowing, tension-laden work, directed by Kyle Patrick Alvarez (C.O.G.), from a screenplay</p>

Marvel has announced a truckload of cast for “Captain America: Civil War,” but for some reason it’s still holding back on admitting Tom Holland is playing the new Spider-Man in that movie.<br>
But. Screenwriters Jonathan M. Goldstein and John Francis Daley are out promoting the new “Vacation” movie. And the duo’s writing resume includes “Horrible Bosses,” “The Incredible Burt Wonderstone” and -- the 2017 “Spider-Man” reboot.<br>
And Goldstein just told Vulture that this weekend they’re getting their first look at footage of Tom Holland playing Spidey in “Civil War.”<br>
"We hear good things,” said Goldstein. “We might even get to look at the Spidey suit, which is exciting."<br>
That’s official enough for me, so here’s an updated cast list for next year’s Captain America movie.<br>
Tom Holland as Peter “Spider-Man” Parker; Robert Downey Jr. as Tony “Iron Man” Stark; Chris Evans as Steve “Captain America” Rogers; Paul Rudd as Scott “Ant-Man” Lang; Scarlett Johansson as Natasha “Black Widow” Romanoff; Jeremy Renner as Clint “Hawkeye” Barton; Anthony Mackie as Sam “Falcon” Wilson; Don Cheadle as James “War Machine” Rhodes; Emily VanCamp as Sharon “Agent 13” Carter; Sebastian Stan as Bucky “Winter Soldier” Barnes; Frank Grillo as Brock “Crossbones” Rumlow; Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda “Scarlet Witch” Maximoff; Chadwick Boseman as “The Black Panther” T’Challa; Daniel Brühl as Baron Zemo; Paul Bettany as The Vision; and William Hurt as Gen. Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross.<br>
No word on Bruce Banner, Matt Murdock,</p>

Nordling posted a great piece on the recent passing of “Rowdy” Roddy Piper here, but while he was writing his piece up, I was dusting off an interview I did with “Rowdy” Roddy Piper a few years ago at a horror con in Chicago and it was one of the biggest thrills I ever had talking with one of my childhood heroes. I thought it would be a great way to celebrate what the Man did by reposting it. So here it is…. From February of 2013: Sometimes it’s just a damn thrill to write for AICN as this interview allowed me to meet one of my childhood heroes, Rowdy Roddy Piper. Though I don’t really follow wrestling anymore, still, there’s something awesome about his wrestling persona and the films and television shows he’s been a part of since. Here’s what my hero, Roddy Piper had to say when I caught up to him at a con recently. AMBUSH BUG (BUG): I’m here with Rowdy Roddy Piper, one of my personal heroes as a kid growing up. It’s great to meet you, sir. ROWDY RODDY PIPER (RRP): Thank you. BUG: How are you doing today? RRP: I’m great. I had a show with Mick Foley, a comedy show last night, but he’s not speaking to me today, so I’m the only one that found it funny, I guess. (Laughs) BUG: So is this new</p>

<p>In 1968, ABC hosted a series of debates between conservative pundit William F. Buckley and historian/novelist Gore Vidal to coincide with the Republican and Democratic National Conventions of that year. Given the tumultuous political climate of the time, they surely anticipated a heated debate between two of the most prominent thinkers of their respective parties. What they couldn’t have expected was that the conversation would quickly turn into a feud that captivated the tens of millions viewers watching, and that would linger on for the remainder of both Vidal and Buckley’s lives.<br>
Academy Award-winner (for 20 FEET FROM STARDOM) Morgan Neville and Robert Gordon have crafted a documentary about the debates titled BEST OF ENEMIES, and while the film is ostensibly about, as Neville says, “two old, dead guys talking in a room 50 years ago,” the conversations remain cracking and riveting as the pair sizes each other up and continually edges right up to (and eventually crosses) the lines of civility and good taste. The intensity of their verbal battles reaches such heights that the film becomes very comical, and there’s great joy to be had in watching these two intellectuals degrade each other and grow increasingly contemptful of the other’s oratory abilities.<br>
While my chat with Gordon and Neville centered around their film, and their efforts in making it the effective, balanced work that it is, but we also discussed the difference in media between then and now, the anti-intellectualism of contemporary America, and why the youth of the nation</p>

<p>Nordling here.<br>
I watched the first Wrestlemania on pay-per-view back in the day, and I remember rooting for Hulk Hogan and Mr. T against the nefarious Paul Orndorff and Rowdy Roddy Piper. I remember loathing Roddy Piper to the core of my being, having seriously bought into believing wrestling was as real as it gets. Hey, I was a kid. Even so, I loved the spectacle of wrestling back then, and although I haven't kept up with it through the years, I remember many hours of entertainment from it. Piper was a charismatic bad guy wrestler, and fun as hell to watch.<br>
So when John Carpenter cast him in THEY LIVE, even though I was older and knew that wrestling was by-and-large scripted, some of that residual bad-guyness stuck with me and even though Carpenter was a filmmaker I loved, I didn't know if I could make the leap into watching Mr. Piper be the action hero. I needn't have worried. Rowdy Roddy Piper's Nada is one of the most iconic roles in science fiction action, probably right next to Kurt Russell's work with Carpenter. The fight between Piper and Keith David is seriously one for the ages - brutal, ridiculous, funny as hell. Piper just oozes cool right off the screen, and it's one of those performances that people remember fondly for years to come.<br>
Roddy Piper's been in a bunch of action films, like HELL COMES TO FROGTOWN, and tons of television work outside of wrestling. He returned to the ring</p>

<p>After heading up their own sci-fi flicks, ENDER’S GAME and TOMORROWLAND, respectively, Asa Butterfield and Britt Robertson are going to co-star in an interplanetary love story for director Peter Chelsom (TOWN & COUNTRY, HANNAH MONTANA: THE MOVIE).<br>
<br>
Butterfield will play Gardner, the first boy born on Mars, who starts corresponding online with Robertson’s earthbound character. The two set out to learn about Gardner’s mother, who died in childbirth, and the mysteries regarding the billionaire-funded colonization of the Red Planet. The ticking clock: Earth’s gravity is somehow threatening Mars’ existence.<br>
<br>
Gary Oldman and Carla Gugino, both experts at making genre material sing, will co-star in this as-yet-untitled film for STX Entertainment.<br>
<br>
While Chelsom’s credits (which also include SHALL WE DANCE, SERENDIPITY, and THE MIGHTY) don’t exactly inspire confidence in his handling of sci-fi or romance, this premise has some potential, and some formidable acting talent to boot. I haven’t found a sliver worth writing home about in Robertson’s UNDER THE DOME or TOMORROWLAND performances, but Butterfield, Oldman, and Gugino are all immensely talented actors who fit right at home in lofty premises and genre trappings. Hopefully, they will add enough verve to the proceedings to get us invested and make us want Butterfield and Robertson’s characters fall in love and save the planet.<br>

<p>Lionsgate has got a ROBIN HOOD movie in development, and they are looking at a few hot young British actors to play the legendary bandit.<br>
<br>
Taron Egerton (KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE) is apparently at the top of the list, followed by Nicholas Hoult (MAD MAX: FURY ROAD), Jack Huston (BOARDWALK EMPIRE), and Jack Reynor (TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION).<br>
<br>
A big X factor is whether KINSGMAN will get a sequel, which would knock Egerton out of contention. PEAKY BLINDERS’ Otto Bathurst is set to direct the film as his feature debut, and has apparently already met with Reynor, but despite his appearance in T4, the actor isn’t nearly as prolific as Hoult and Huston. Still, the idea that they want Egerton shows that they’re shooting for someone a little tougher than the skinny, blue-eyed Hoult, which makes me think it could easily go to the cheap, relatively unknown Reynor.<br>
<br>
There are a bunch of Robin Hood flicks in development, uncurbed by the failure of the Ridley Scott-Russell Crowe jam from five years ago. It’s unlikely that most of them will ever make it to production, but if Bathurst and Lionsgate can nail down a promising actor, they’re a huge step closer towards getting theirs made.<br>
<br>
Of these four, who would you most like to see stealing from the rich and giving to the poor?<br>

<p>Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I saw Goodnight Mommy at Fantastic Fest last year and it is one of those great little creepers that sticks with you. Finally the film seems to be poised for a greater release.<br>
In this day and age trailers are designed to give you a little taste of everything in the movie, hoping that every single type of person in the audience will see something to hook them enough to get them to drop $10 on a ticket. Cutting a great trailer is almost a lost art. I say almost because Fury Road did it so perfectly throughout the entire campaign that I have hope there's still smart marketing folks out there. The Star Wars trailers haven't been bad either.<br>
I say all this as a way to give you the complete greenlight to watch the below trailer. I can't go into why without spoiling things, but it's brilliantly cut. In fact, it might actually make your experience discovering this movie even better than going in cold, something I can't say about most marketing materials.<br>
It's a great flick and now here's its great trailer:<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The film sees release this September. Seek it out if you like good things!<br>

<p>Hey folks, Ambush Bug here. Look for my regular AICN HORROR column in a little bit, but first, I wanted to make you aware of a new film by REPO: THE GENETIC OPERA director Darren Lynn Bousman that is touring the country throughout the late summer and fall. It’s call ALLELUIA!: THE DEVIL’S CARNIVAL which is the sequel to THE DEVIL’S CARNIVAL which toured the country a few years ago. Ditching the studio route, Bousmann and co-writer/producer Terrence Zdunich have been touring the film themselves making doing mini-events along the way. I reviewed the original film here and look forward to seeing this sequel. Below is a clip from ALLELUIA!: THE DEVIL’S CARNIVAL featuring the one and only David Hasselhoff’s character the Designer belting out the song “Only By Design.” Brepare thyself for the Hoff!<br>
<br>
Along with this clip, the folks behind the film are also putting together a contest which I will let the PR release explain below; Sing Like An Angel Song Contest The Designer is selecting a few stylish singers for Heaven's chorus. He wants to hear your spiritous rendition of his fabulous stitch song “Only By Design”, featured in the new musical film ALLELUIA! THE DEVIL'S CARNIVAL. In this scene, June (Emilie Autumn), Cora (Lyndon Smith) and a class of hopeful Applicants are given a tour of the seventh floor of Heavenly Productions, Incorporated. There, The Designer (David Hasselhoff) demonstrates that everything in Heaven is by design. After watching The Designer swagger and croon, do you</p>

<br>
Welcome to the last occasional Docback before DOCTOR WHO Season/Series 9 premieres on September 19! <br>
The next Docback will be opened on Friday, September 18 and dedicated to The Magician’s Apprentice - the opening story of S9 (transmitting on September 19). Episodic Docbacks will then unfold during the regular run of the show, and presumably for the theoretical Christmas episode as well.<br>
There may be mini-Docbacks peppered throughout our journey as well, should circumstances/available content dictate. <br>
Participants in this current Docback please note that this particular DB may reach its 45 day expiration a few days before the next Docback opens, so pace conversations accordingly as this one nears the end of its spectacular run. <br>
With this out of the way, here we go. Some round-up stuff here. Some new stuff here. Some fun stuff here...<br>

<p>I am – Hercules!!<br>
“I've heard there's talk of potentially three different live-action [Star Wars] shows for Netflix, in much the same way Marvel has deals in place for Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, etc.,” reports Jordan Maison on Cinelinx.<br>
And back in March, there was this from Jason Ward on the Making Star Wars website:<br>
“Oh yeah, my source also mentioned that a television series based in the Star Wars universe like Marvel’s Agents of Shield is ramping up a bit. I assume they don’t mean the premise is like Agents of Shield.”<br>
There’s nothing from Disney or Lucasfilm on any live-action “Star Wars” TV series. Or from Netflix, which had ample time to discuss any new “Star Wars” series during its TCA executive session earlier this week.<br>
A live-action “Star Wars” TV show has been for a decade something of mirage.<br>
Before he sold Lucasfilm to Disney, George Lucas commissioned 50 (!) teleplays for multiple seasons of a proposed live-action Star Wars TV series, at least some of them scripted by “Battlestar Galactica” mastermind Ronald D. Moore. The project apparently fizzled when no channel would commit the money Lucas felt he needed to produce the scripts.<br>
Like the animated “Star Wars Rebels,” Lucas’ live-action series was to be set between “Revenge of the Sith” and “A New Hope.” Unlike “Rebels,” Lucas’ live-action series focused on rival Coruscant mobsters vying to control the planet’s drug and prostitution trade.<br>

I gather Reed, Ben and Johnny don’t make it to another dimension at the end of this clip because, of course, Sue Storm’s not along for the ride. There’s some dude with a beard in her chamber.<br>
I hated Fox’s first two “Fantastic Four” movies so much! This new one, directed by Josh Trank (“Chronicle”), seems to be based on Mark Millar’s Ultimate Fantastic Four comic books, which I loved for many reasons but especially for the hot nerd love-story shared by teen wunderkinds Reed Richards and Sue Storm.<br>
This is also the first “Four” movie since Fox hired Millar – who wrote the comics on which the superb “Kick-Ass” and “Kingsman” were based – as its Marvel uberconsultant.<br>
Marvel rockets Grimm, Richards, the Storms and Victor Domashev into cinemas next Thursday.<br>

Will there be more “True Detective” after it wraps up its second season in 10 days?<br>
HBO programming chief Michael Lombardo says it’s the sole decision of series mastermind Nic Pizzolatto, who writes every episode.<br>
“If he wants to do another season, I said the door is open. We’d like to do another season of it,” said Lombardo at HBO’s TCA event.<br>
HBO is likely high on the franchise because Pizzolatto’s scripts attract bona fide movie stars like Vince Vaughn, Matthew McConaughey, Rachel McAdams, Woody Harrelson, Taylor Kitsch and Colin Ferrell.<br>
Lombardo says HBO offers Pizzolatto no suggestions, noting Pizzolatto is “one of the best writers working in film or television who takes big swings.”<br>
The exec also suggested critics withhold judgment on the series’ second season until they see the Aug. 9 finale.<br>
“I think you need to watch the entirety of it,” opined Lombardo. “I think the season’s ending is as satisfying as any series we’ve done.”<br>

Will there be more “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” which hasn’t aired a new episode since Sept. 11, 2011?<br>
HBO programming chief Michael Lombardo, speaking at HBO’s TCA event, says he met with star-mastermind Larry David shortly before the premiere of David’s Broadway debut “Fish in the Dark.”<br>
During the meeting, David pulled out a notebook and showed it to Lombardo.<br>
“Do you know what this is?” asked David, who turned 68 this month. “This is the next-season notebook.”<br>
“I don’t think it’s out of his system,” Lombardo said. “When he has something to say, he will come back. I certainly see this as a continuing dialogue with him – a long one, but a continuing one.”<br>
This is the longest hiatus, but not the only lengthy one for the “Curb,” which launched in 2000. HBO also failed to air new episodes in 2003, 2006, 2008 and 2010.<br>
David did sort of break up the current hiatus with “Clear History,” the HBO TV movie he starred in and co-wrote.<br>

<p>Hey guys! Horrorella here...<br>
I am super excited for this one. Emma Donoghue's novel Room was a captivating and thought provoking story. A not-too-far-from-reality (looking at you, Josef Fritzl) story about a kidnapped woman who has spent years trapped in a shed on the property of her captor, with nobody but her young son for company. The son has never known life outside of their tiny room. When his mother engineers a plan to finally regain their freedom, his entire world changes.<br>
Brie Larson is starring in the film, which is sure to earn her some well-deserved buzz. After memorable roles in SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD, 21 JUMP STREET and the incredible SHORT TERM 12, it's about time for her to become a household name. The film is being directed by Lenny Abrahamson, who delivered last year's fantastic FRANK.<br>
A24 has released the teaser trailer below. Despite its grim subject matter, the story actually carries a great deal of light and heart, largely through being told from the perspective of the little boy. It looks as though Abrahamson is attempting to capture some of this spirit, while still keeping the story emotionally grounded.<br>
The film is set to play at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, before a theatrical release on October 16th. What do you guys think?</p>

<p>Hey folks, Harry here... Alrighty, here we go... Josh Trank's FANTASTIC FOUR. We've been discussing this film for years now. In fact, when Trank came to Austin for a screening of CHRONICLE, he was already talking about his enthusiasm for making FANTASTIC FOUR. Thus far in the marketing of the film, they haven't really shown us much at all. But then they've wanted the wonders to be introduced in the story. It is interesting to me, that we've got films actively in theaters by Peyton Reed and Chris Columbus... both of them worked to bring the FANTASTIC FOUR to screen, both didn't quite make it. The Roger Corman version has more of the spirit of the comics, but woefully underfunded. Tim Story's FANTASTIC FOUR films, other than Doug Jones' SILVER SURFER, were pretty much wastes of time. <br>
I'm wildly excited to see what Trank has in store for us. In interviews he's citing Cronenberg & Spielberg as his influences for this film - and I'm quite excited to see that play out. In fact, after I post this I'm going to put on CHRONICLE for another view!<br>
Now - how do you get into AICN's Free Screening of FANTASTIC FOUR?<br>
